Are They Or Aren't They?

21 Feb 2007 07:37 AM

Isn't it possible that Wilson was/is simply Hudson's "rebound guy"? Let's face it, when a woman splits with a long-term partner, she needs a rebound guy just to affirm her sense of self. Don't we all ask "What's wrong with me?", "Why couldn't we make it work?", "Am I flawed as a woman in some way?"

The rebound guy helps us get over that. We go out, we have fun, we get a little attention and then all seems right in our world and we outgrow the rebound guy. Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn seem to be excellent Hollywood rebound guys!

Hey, maybe they should make a movie...

3-Steps To Stop Whining

21 Feb 2007 07:30 AM

OK, maybe this works for older kids, but my 2-year-old is not reasonable when he is in a whining mood. If my child whines when I am out in public and I stop what I'm doing and take him home, he wins. If I have errands to get done, I cannot simply stop everything just because my child is whining.

I find the only thing to do is ignore the whining, show him it has no effect and then carry on. If it turns into a tantrum, I just make sure he's strapped into the carriage or his stroller and ride it out.

Of course, if we're at a playground and he starts whining, no problem - we go home.

Personally, I can't wait for the day these steps work for my son. It will be a blessed day indeed.

But surely doing yoga WHILE meditating on Christ could be a good thing, couldn't it?

20 Minutes A Day Can Change Your Life

So true! I've been on the Body-for-Life program for just over a week now and the workouts in that program are quick! I finish my lifting in 30-40 minutes and every other day, I do 20 minutes of high intensity aerobic training. I've lost 9 pounds and 6 inches in the first week! You can make big changes with just a little bit of time!!

How's Your Handshake?

19 Feb 2007 08:05 AM

During my time in politics, I experienced quite a few different handshakes. One man that I was constantly in communication with and met with regularly always gave a crushing - and I mean CRUSHING - handshake. I hated shaking hands with him because my hand would ache for about an hour after the shake. He was a political old timer but I always wondered what the deal was with his handshake! It was AWFUL. I'll admit, I got to the point where I'd never shake hands with him. A big smile, and enthusiastic greeting but never a handshake.

Don't be that guy!
